From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Youtube client that supports saving searches as a playlist? (lemmy.ml)

Title says it all. I've been looking for a youtube client similar to freetube or youtube-tui that will allow me to save a search as a playlist. I.e., I end up with a playlist that's populated with whatever the most recent VanillaOS videos are or whatever. I've done a bit of searching but thought I'd see if anyone knew of one, since I keep learning about nifty things I've somehow missed here.

This is a bash script I wrote:

As far as searches go:

s option: Search using a keyword/phrase
h option: Watch history
j option: Search history

If I understand correctly, in your case: let's say you search for a term , i.e. vanillaOS. You will be able to select from a list of videos, with a preview image and other data ( data, views, channel etc). If on a later date you wish to search again for this term, by selecting the j option, you can easily repeat the same search, with any new videos available included.

Ideally I'd like it as a playlist, sort of like youtube-tui's library, but this seems like it might be a workable solution. Also, even if it turns out not to be, very nice script. I've always sucked terribly at bash scripting.
